Hello. Apologies for the Noobie question. I am a NOOB.
Am trying to run OTA leaked update on my Droid Razr. I have gone through all the steps of SPC-Hicks09 guide to installation without a hitch, until it comes to step 15:
15. Now in stock recovery, select "install update from external sdcard."
When I get to here, Android System Recovery (3d) menu comes up, and I get this option instead: Apply update from Ext Storage.
Then Chose package to install:/Sdcard, and I highlight "Blur Version...."
But instead of installing, then it drills down to another menu, "Choose package to install"...through all the folders (down to Google and Android)
without any update bat or action happening.
Anyone have a suggestion on where I have gone wrong?
[note 1: Why don't I get asked "apply update from SD Card"?]
[note 2: When I connect my phone to PC as a media device, I show Internal Storage and SD Card; Blur Version 6.16.211 which I downloaded directly from the link, is showing up as a folder (not a zip)
Thanks! Bienbien
never mind
With a good file browser, found zip file and moved it to sdcard-ext...and deleted the unzipped folder. Updated fine.

Pls. help me. i cannot get the updates from Dexter to work. My Folio keep aborting the installatio. I am following the procedure step by step.
Instead of getting the executable line "install SDCARD:update.zip" I see
"Apply SDCARD:update.zip"
Can anyone hrlp??
Are you sure you correctly extracted the ZIP content to your SD card? Because the "update.zip" file is located inside the downloaded ZIP, along with a "readme" text.

EEuuuhhh,, its the same, install or apply the sdcard:update zip
navigate to apply sdcard update.zip using +/- vol buttons, and select it using the power button.
updates just need to be copied to root of sd card and applied, no need to extract etc...
Ups, did not see that coming. Thanks a lot. You saved my day.
I ordered my g tablet yesterday and cant wait for it to come in. So tonight I am downloading a rom and clockworkmod v8 so I will be ready when it comes in. However I need a little help. I read the guide on installing clockworkmod and a rom but cant firgure something out. It says to un zip the files into the root of the device. When it means un-zip does it mean to "right click" than "extract all" Because when I do this the recovery folder doesn't have the zipper on it anymore but the update folder still does. Is this right?
The recovery folder and the zip file called update is what you will need to transfer to the root of your SD card when you connect your tablet to the PC. The recovery folder should not be in a zip format, but the update file should be.
ok thanks. But both folders go in the root right?
Yes. Then boot into recovery and it will start the update after so many seconds.
the update folder just says "update" it doesn't say update.zip however it is a zipped folder. Is it the same thing?
Most operating systems, referring to Mcrosoft, hides the extensions of files, but if it has the look of a zip file or what ever software you may be using, I would assume that would be the update file just not showing the .zip extension.
You are making it hard. Just do this.
Hook up Gtablet to your pc by USB. See which drive your pc asigns to your GTablet. Download the correct Clockwork Mod you need.
Unzip it to a folder on your pc. Then just drag and drop the two files after zipping to the drive your pc assigned to your Gtablet. On mine it is G. Yours may be F.
Then just power down your GTablet and then power up holding down power and volume + till you get Viewsonic screen and a message in upper left corner that recovery has started.
Then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
If ClockworkMod installed, start with Part 1, step 6 or 7. READ IT ALL.
So, i am trying to load this new ROM (the Vicious rom). I go into clockwork recovery & select install zip from sdcard, then i choose zip from sdcard, & instead of loading the new rom it says: Finding Update package, opening update package, installing update package, then it is complete....how do i get it to load the rom?
additional info:
I cannot install any ROM now, it runs through this short update process I explained above. Am I missing something that allows the rom to be loaded?
That's how roms are installed. Did you reboot after you installed the rom?
i had issues with clockwork so i used team win recovery here-- http://www.mediafire.com/?ye85b3n1f72nen3
Maybe try this one and see if it helps just put on root of sd card
make sure it is named PG05IMG.ZIP go into the bootloader
by shutting down phone rstarting by holding down volume arrow then power till it comes up in bootloader and do the update

Either you are choosing apply sdcard:update.zip accidentially instead of "install zip from sdcard" or you still have a PG05IMG on your sdcard? If you still have that img on your card, you will have to hook your phone up to your computer > boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount sdcard > enable usb and find that IMG and delete it. Then go back do your wipes, and install zip from sdcard.
Try redownloading the ROM in case it may have been corrupted during the original download.
Hi, urgent help needed. I feel like bump into a wall or something.
The situation is, I rooted my TF201 with viperboy tools. Today I tried to OTA the ICS update, and had a triangular sign.
I tried to follow the instruction of [Guide] ICS OTA Solution to Yellow Triangle, but at the step of flashing back stock rom, I got another triangular sign.
The thing I did:
1, download the stock rom my of region.
2. unzip the zip file. and put it in my sdcard of TF201
3. turn of the device. Turn the the device with volume - pressed.
4. Then quickly press volume+ when I see 2 lines of very small Englist showed up. (is this correct)
5. anyway, it began to run something, only that 10seconds later, a triangular sign came up.
I can't flash back the stock rom. Is there anything I did wrong or I didn't do?
Please HELP!!!
All right, I've got this figured out. How stupid I am, taking the long route.
All I need to do is just put the zip file in the sdcard and turn on the device, go to setup and use the default update procedure.
Problem solved. what a relief.
Where did you find that setup? Or any "default update procedure"?
Update checker tells me I am up to date.
There's another zip inside the downloaded zip. I placed both on SD card and even on internal storage, can't seem to get that working.

just place .zip(the one inside the downloaded zip) on SD card, and when u insert SD card, there will be a sign at right corner of the screen.
I am currently on 9.4.2.11.1 because that fixed my problem with rebooting. but now i am getting major battery drainage. I wanted to update to 9.4.2.15 but i cant do the OTA so i thought i would manually install 9.4.2.14 and then let the OTA update me to 9.4.2.15. I downloaded the US version and unzipped it and put that folder to the root of my SD card and when that didnt work i put it on my Internal memeory. Am i missing something? I have both the zip and the unzipped folder on the root of my drives and nothing.... Can someone shed some light on this? I am not rooted. I have rebooted multiple times and nothing. I dont see anything on the settings bar for update.
Get the firmware here :
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=32
Unzip the file, inside there's another file.
Rename this 2nd zip file to EP201_SDUPDATE.zip
Put it in the root of an external microSD card.
Put the microSD card into prime.
Boot or reboot the prime. As soon as you see the first boot screen press "Volume down". Once you see the text on the top left, press "Volume UP" once.
Wait for the process to complete, you're now with the new firmware !
No need for root
I see what happened. I'm on a mac and when i unzipped the original zip file it saw another zip file so it unzipped them both. Thanks alot for your help!
